Resumo

O primeiro relato de reação alérgica à Cannabis sativa foi publicado em 1971, com a descrição de uma mulher de 29 anos que após fumar maconha pela primeira vez apresentou sintomas compatíveis com uma reação anafilática. A alergia à maconha pode manifestar-se por sintomas diversos, inclusive graves e generalizados, com reações cruzadas, principalmente, mas não exclusivamente, com frutas e vegetais. Portanto, é de suma importância familiarizar-se com os sinais e sintomas da alergia à Cannabis, conhecer as opções disponíveis para o diagnóstico, as perspectivas de tratamento e como orientar o paciente. Esta revisão tem por objetivo destacar a diversidade de rotas de sensibilização e reações à planta, enfatizando a heterogeneidade de apresentações da alergia à Cannabis.

Abstract

The first report of an allergic reaction to Cannabis sativa was published in 1971, with the description of a case of a 29-yearold woman who had symptoms consistent with an anaphylactic reaction after smoking marijuana for the first time. A marijuana allergy can manifest by various symptoms, including severe and disseminated symptoms with cross-reactions mainly, but not exclusively, with fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it is extremely important to become familiar with the signs and symptoms of a cannabis allergy and to know the options available for diagnosis, treatment perspectives, as well as how to guide the patient. This review aims to highlight the diversity of sensitization routes and reactions to the plant, emphasizing the heterogeneity of presentations of a cannabis allergy

Keywords
